Police are still investigating the crash. It’s unclear yet if the driver of the Nissan will be facing any charges.

“Speed does not appear to be a contributing factor in the crash,” police said in the news release.

The driver, identified as Kevin Michael Signer, did not suffer from any injuries.

He stayed at the scene of the crash as well, WBTV reported.

According to WSO-TV reporter Mark Barber, parents have complained in the past about the lack of lighting on the road.

Police said the roadway does not have any overhead street lights and that the girl was not wearing any clothing that was reflective. The section of the roadway also had no crosswalks or pedestrian signals.

Counseling and grief support services are being offered for the family of the girl and for the broader school community.
